1. As an introduction to the project we will watch the short film Mr. Hublot: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3qxufi
2. We will discuss the visuals as well as the story line for the movie.
3. Using the slideshow attached, students will be shown what steampunk is and examples of how to transform a natural object into the style of steampunk.
4. Students will draw at least 3 loose sketches to submit.
5. Students will pick one drawing to concentrate on and draw the outline of the object very large on their paper.
6. Once their drawings are layed out on the paper, they will think about the moveable parts it has and how to translate the construction of the object into metal and leather.
7. Resources for how to draw some of these parts are in the slideshow, and live demo's are also given to show how to draw pipes, bolts and gears.
8. Once the drawing is completed students will use colored pencils in muted tones (grey, brown, rust, yellow) to create value, sharing and form on their object.
9. If there is enough time students can add a background.

Students will be assessed based on the attached rubric.

Students are shown the attached slideshow.
